Midori Pen & Tool Pouch Mesh with gusseted bottom gray

The Midori Pen & Tool Pouch Mesh with gusset is a transparent nylon pencil case in Japanese style – lightweight, flat when empty, and remarkably capacious thanks to its expandable base. The visible mesh structure shows at a glance what's inside: no rummaging, no searching. Grey here is no compromise, but a calm, neutral colour that fits into any bag or rucksack.

Features

• Gusset (expandable base): The folded underside opens the case downward to up to 7 cm depth – plenty of room for a whole handful of pens, thicker markers or a small B6 notebook, without the bag bulging.
• Transparent nylon mesh: The weave is lightweight and tear-resistant. Because it's semi-transparent, the contents are visible from the outside – which pen goes where is immediately obvious without opening the case.
• Two inner pockets in different colours and shapes: A narrower, deeper pocket holds nibs and fountain pens individually; a wider, flatter pocket suits correction rollers, adhesive tape, erasers and ink cartridges. The colour distinction makes organisation easier.
• Metal zip fastener: Runs smoothly and evenly, closes securely and contributes to a sturdy overall impression.
• Low weight: Nylon mesh keeps the case itself lightweight – any weight increase in your bag comes solely from the contents.

Use & Tips

• For fountain pens and liquid rollers: The narrow inner pocket holds writing instruments securely without them touching. Fountain pens with delicate nibs benefit from the soft mesh interior.
• Ink cartridges, converters, spare refills: The wider inner pocket is ideal for small accessories that would otherwise disappear in the main compartment – cartridges, converters, pencil leads, small scissors.
• As a bag-in-bag organiser: The case fits neatly into handbags, laptop bags or rucksacks as a self-contained stationery section. The transparency makes it a quick-access point.
• For bullet journal and planner setups: Washi tape rolls, staples, small stamps and stickers fit in the main compartment alongside a B6 notebook.
• Cleaning: Nylon mesh can be wiped clean with a damp cloth; the metal eyelets on the zip remain unaffected.

For Stationery Enthusiasts

Midori has produced this case for years in consistent quality as part of the Pen & Tool Pouch series. The gusset version differs from the flat variant through significantly greater capacity in the main compartment: instead of a single layer of writing instruments, multiple layers fit on top of each other. The nylon mesh is woven so that it remains form-stable even when the case is fully loaded – the gusset expands without distorting the outer material. The coloured inner pockets made of contrasting mesh are firmly sewn in and not removable, but sit loosely enough to accommodate thicker items such as cartridge fountain pens with clips.
